Gottlieb, 1973Not in a barn..but a basement. Very dirty games. #2 Dimensions, Eldorado, Pro Football + wood rails...a Challenger... too much work for me. Supposedly 100% there...but haven't been running for years. What's a Dimension or Pro Football worth in neglected condition?
A Pro Football in neglected condition just sold on eBay for $300ish. I'd expect Dimension to be the same - It's rare, but I believe that the gameplay isn't really there on that one.
I PMed about the Challenger. I have no idea what it is worth, and with so few made it might be impossible to fix, but I'd love if it was cheap to get it and try to fix it up for the MGC. It's unique for sure!
I'm not much of an EM collector/expert but those are some highly collectible games if they are in repairable condition! If you end up passing on any of them let me know as myself or some of the other Madison area collectors would likely be interested in them. thanks!

My 1956 Gottlieb Fair Lady was in a barn just outside Cross Plains-right off Hwy 14 before the Town of Cross Plains sign. Saved it from sure demise and had PinRescue make it correct again. Wisconsin has many pickers delights.....
I will try to get the guy to let me give out his number. My plate is full at the moment and I'm not a flipper. The guy has no computer/Internet, so be prepared for no pics. I'll respond to all above. Good luck!

Keep em local if you decide to pass them along!!!
No need to pass them along to any flippers. I am happy to lend a had or store for any non-flippers looking for these.

I sent a pm earlier today - if anyone gets a Dimension with a good playfield and wants to sell or trade I have the following: Atlantis, Buckaroo, Subway. All I need is a good playfield for my Dimension.
Hopefully all were responded to. Never had a "find" before. Finding and finding somebody willing to sell are two different things I guess. Looked promising..but the guy changed his mind for now. The "but they're just sitting there...." speech didn't work. Someone else commented to me that they had experienced this before. Entertaining when it's on American Pickers.
Never talked money though. Asked me if I wanted to buy one...then had second thoughts. I really don't know enough to throw any numbers out on the bunch. That would be gambling on my part, and like I said, I'm no flipper (no offense to flippers). A dilemma. Maybe I'll have to grow a couple and go back. Knowing me..I'd overpay..and be exactly where I didn't want to be.

Sorry man, just cant get into them but Id never rip anyone for loving them. If you dont like TZ though, I will pummel you 
As for condition relating to value in the rough-I would check out the back glass first for peeling if it's been sitting in area that has had wide temp./humidity fluctuations. It they are just dirty, they might be worth several thousands all together. If moderate to severe damage (playfields, cabinets, glass, mechanicals) would be far less. So condition is everything in a deal like this on your end. I would try to offer a fair price citing condition of games. Sounds like the owner either thinks they are a gold mine (yes, those are mostly very desirable titles), or he doesn't really know a reasonable value?
